Located in a remote 1,097 hectares of coniferous forest steeped in history and folklore, you will get a real feel of being in total wilderness. The highlight of this trail is the small climb to the top of Little Dog where you will be rewarded with astonishing 360° panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, dotted with lakes. Along this trail you will also find a secluded picnic spot which provides the perfect setting for a woodland feast. The trail is set in an area with an abundance of wildlife such as Red Deer, Herons, Dragonflies, and the Irish Hare, so make sure to keep a look out!
